CHRISTOPHER COLVILLE – FLUX
2019-05-06“The photograph is essentially a transformation orchestrated by an artist,” is the mantra of Phoenix-based photographer Christopher Colville, and his new solo exhibition Flux at photo-eye Gallery exemplifies the maxim. Enigmatic, emotional, and explosive, Christopher Colville’s unique silver gelatin prints are utterly contemporary in their execution and methodology while their appearance seems timeless. Crafted using controlled gunpowder-based explosions Colville records the blast’s energy as it travels across traditional light-sensitive photographic paper yielding abstract images that are expressive, not descriptive.
